From 0 to 400 GB: Confronting the Challenges of Born-Digital Photographs

Earlier this month at the Society of American Archivists annual meeting in Atlanta, I got to chair and speak at a panel session on born digital campus photographs. Many thanks to my co-panelists Ed Busch, Chris Prom, Molly Tighe, and Greg Wiedeman, and thanks also to the audience for the great questions and conversation! Our combined slides are up on Slideshare and on the SAA event site.

From historic maps to photos to cookbooks: Check out PA’s new public digital content hub

Researchers, genealogists, developers rejoice! Pennsylvania now has its own online repository of digital images, text, maps, audio and visual files from libraries, archives, museums and special collections across the state.

Thanks to Keystone Edge for highlighting the new PA Digital Partnership - and for mentioning our Zaner-Bloser Penmanship Collection as a click-worthy curiosity.

Finally wrapping up a year-long project to update and integrate our University Archives, Special Collections, and Digital Collections web pages. I’m really happy with how they’ve turned out, and I can’t thank my @uofslibrary coworkers enough for helping me make it happen!

We’re proud to announce that 12,876 of those records were contributed by the University of Scranton Weinberg Memorial Library.

It’s been a bit busy around here.

I’ll be heading west on May 12 to help out at the PALA West Branch Chapter spring workshop, “Digitize Locally, Share Globally”. We’ll be talking about PA Digital and the @digitalpubliclibraryofamerica, naturally, along with digitization, public/academic library collaboration, metadata, outreach, scanathons, and the State Library’s Scribe Station. Take a look at the brochure and then register so you can come join us!

I’ll be at DPLAFest this week, celebrating our new PA Digital Service Hub and talking @digitalpubliclibraryofamerica shop with everyone and anyone. I’ll also be live-tweeting some sessions as a DPLA Community Rep. Can’t wait to see everyone in DC!
